Vienna

Vienna/Fairfax–GMU Metro station

9550 Saintsbury Drive, Fairfax, VA

Your options

The Orange Line connection for a rail trip into the region, with bus connections and a large park-and-ride facility.

Plan the connection

The station is outside the town center at 9550 Saintsbury Drive in Fairfax. Use WMATA’s station page for current service and parking, then plan the remaining bus, bike or pickup leg into Vienna.

02

Vienna

Use the W&OD for town-center access

Your options

Reach the historic Vienna train depot, Community Center and central Vienna stops by the paved rail trail. This is a town-center connection, not a direct trail route to the Vienna/Fairfax–GMU Metro station.

Plan the connection

Use NOVA Parks’ access map to pick a starting point and return route. Walk bikes through crowded gathering areas and use marked crossings at town streets.

03

Vienna

Report a recurring street-safety concern

Your options

Vienna’s Transportation Safety Commission considers intersections, signage, speed limits and walking or cycling conditions.

Plan the connection

Use its street-safety guide to prepare a petition and consult the current agenda. Give the exact intersection and observed issue; the commission makes recommendations to Town Council rather than providing emergency response.
